Jetboil Helios Guide Cooking System

Whether you need to boil water on a solo trip or cook a backcountry meal for you and your four hiking partners, just bring along the Jetboil Helios Guide Cooking System. This unique stove uses liquid fuel to squeeze every last bit of efficiency from the system and provide three-minute boil times for a liter of water. Jetboil includes two- and three-liter pots with the Helios Guide Cooking System, so you have all the cookware you need to get everyone hydrated and put some food in their empty stomachs. Snap on the included windscreen use the Helios in gusts up to 10+ miles an hour. Jetboil also added a lid that doubles as a plate and triples as a Frisbee for a little after-dinner base camp game.

Bottom Line: Cook for the entire group.

Very effecient stove!

By:

Well i'm not suite sure about the above review (there are those defective items), but I feel that this stove deserves a chance for sure! I have never had any problems at all with this stove when I take it out backpacking, and it has always performed +100%. I love the way that everything (fuel stand, stove, windscreen) minus your fuel fits inside either one of these pots. While the 3 liter pot is overkill for most situations, I find the 1 1/2 liter pot to be the perfect size for personal or even cooking for a friend or two. May be slightly heavier, but split things up... Everyone that I go hiking with always enjoys watching the windscreen and how effective it really is. Also the lids for the pans double as plates, so it can help save on "some" weight. A total breeze to set up, and it boils water like no tommorow with the flux-ring pans. Worth every cent, I really do love mine!

Can the pots be used to cook over a fire?

Nope, it should not be used over a fire. Typically any non-coated aluminum or stainless steel pot or pan would do fine over a fire. This pot is designed to work most efficiently with the provided stove system, so the design limits its usability in other situations (e.g. the unique heat transfer 'FluxRing' assembly on the bottom of the pot). Most importantly, and the biggest reason the pot cannot be used over a fire, is the use of neoprene to insulate the pot. Neoprene starts to decompose at 446 degrees Fahrenheit, which is towards the lower end of a typical campfire, even a small one. If you were to use this pot over a wood fire, you take a significant risk in destroying the neoprene insulation.

Review Title

By:

Best stove I have ever come across. It boils a liter of water in less than 3 minutes at 11,000 feet as stated! The adjustable flame setting was worth the upgrade to the Helios Guide. Only con to this stove is that it is not meant for long cooking times so gourmet chefs beware. I could not cook with it longer than 25-30 min before the fuel pre-heat loop would overheat and stop fuel flow so long simmer foods and trying to cook a zillion pancakes are not a real option. It did allow me to simmer long enough for the best beef enchilada dinner I ever had for me and my teenage army of three. The two pot system came in real handy too. I would recommend this stove and I am glad I bought it.

Does the fluxring frypan work with this stove system?

Just picked up the Helios system and the frypan on the advice that it would work. It doesn't. The fluxring on the frypan is smaller than the Helios system requires. The instructions with the Helios system include "Helios is not compatible with the Jetboil 1.5 liter pot, FluxRing Fry Pan or the PCS Companion Cup.
